Farmer's happy event

Chapter 4
"Huh——" Lianzi was surprised, the thing in the child's hand——if she read it correctly, it should be Cang Zhu.Although it was a bit more troublesome to process Cangzhu, its price was higher than Xu Changqing's. One catty was enough for her family to eat white flour steamed buns for a whole day.

Thinking of this, Lianzi walked towards the little boy, pointed to the thing in his hand and asked, "Where did you find this?"

"It's right there." The little boy stretched out his finger diagonally to the rear, "I'll take you there."

Out of habit, Lianzi said "thank you" and followed, and Huzi also hurriedly followed.

Just now her mind was completely attracted by Cang Zhu, now when she looked at the child carefully, she found that his clothes were definitely not the same as the coarse linen clothes she was wearing.

He was wearing a silver jacket over a cross-neck gown of the same color, and a pair of delicate boots on his feet.Looking at the fabric of this dress, even if Lianzi had never worn silk or satin in her previous life, she could still recognize it.

As a result, she couldn't help but wonder: "Which rich family is this child?"

"It's here." The little boy turned his head and smiled at Lianzi.

Now that Lianzi saw his appearance clearly, she couldn't help being startled: Isn't this the child I saw at the hospital that day?How did he come here?
"Do you see this?" the little boy said again, blinking his big eyes.

Only then did Lianzi come to her senses, and was about to look at it, but Huzi stepped forward and said, "Let me see."

"Sister Lianzi, look." Even though he was reminded several times, Huzi still insisted on calling Sister Lianzi.

Lianzi dug up a plant, looked carefully, and was sure that it was Cangzhu, and checked the rhizome again, and found that it was still usable, and couldn't help but feel happy.

"Come on, dig more." She said to Hu Zi behind her.

Huzi agreed, lowered his head to get the basket, and only took one look before shouting to Lianzi, "The basket is full."

Lianzi glanced at the basket at Huzi's feet upon hearing this, and sure enough, it was full of lumps.

She hesitated for a while, then looked at the sky again: "Go back, come back tomorrow."

The three of them walked back together, talking all the way.It turned out that the little boy came here for the first time. He sneaked out to play while his family was not paying attention, and got lost on the mountain.It also happened to meet Lianzi and Huzi, so I wanted to go down the mountain with them.

When meeting him in the medical clinic that day, Lianzi admired the boy's courage very much, and she is very friendly after getting in touch with him today.But this seemed to make Huzi a little apprehensive, and he stood in front of Lianzi from time to time, looking at him vigilantly, but was frightened back by Lianzi's sharp eyes.

"What's your name?" Lianzi turned to the little boy and asked, "How old are you?"

He smiled slightly: "My name is Su Keyan, and I am seven years old."

"I'm the same age as you, Huzi." Lianzi smiled at Huzi, and then introduced himself, "My name is Lianzi, and I'm one year younger than you." Then he pointed at Huzi, "His name is Huzi, and you same size."

"Su Keyan", Lianzi thought in her heart, and at the same time sized him up, "The surname is Su, from the Su family", suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, "It can't be the rich Su family that my parents mentioned today Bar?"

Thinking of this, Lianzi asked, "Where do you live?"

"My family lives in the town, and my father asked me to come here to study with Mr. Liu. I just arrived today." Su Keyan was only seven years old, and he was very happy to meet a playmate who was about his age when he first came here.

In this way, Lianzi was able to confirm that Su Keyan was an immigrant from Liujiazhuang—a child of the Su family. No wonder the young servant screamed in fright just because he hurt his leg that day.

Just now she wanted to take Su Keyan back to her home first, and then ask her parents to send him back. Now it seems that it is better to let him go back quickly, maybe at this time his family is going around in a hurry look for him.

It also happened that she knew how to get to Su's house, so she and Hu Zi sent Su Keyan back first.

The school has not been completed yet, Su Keyan's father, Su Mu'an, asked him to come and live here to get used to it for a while, and when the school is completed, he can study in peace.The day Lianzi met Su Keyan in the medical center was the day he was going to come here, but the horse on the way was frightened and injured his leg, so he couldn't make it.

Su Keyan came here for the first time, so he was very new to everything, so before Lianzi left, he made an appointment with her to play together later.

After leaving Su's house, the sky was already covered with a thin layer of black shadow, Lianzi and Huzi went home respectively.

As soon as she turned into the alley, Lianzi saw Mrs. Yang standing on the gate, looking around anxiously. Seeing her back, she hurriedly walked over a few steps and asked, "Where did you go? I'm really anxious."

"Huzi and I went to the mountain. Look, we dug a lot of these." Lianzi said, holding up the basket in her hand to show Yang.

Mrs. Yang poked around in the basket and said, "What are you digging up these bluegrass roots for? It's not tasty."

Lianzi was startled when she heard the words, and then realized that the bluegrass root Yang was talking about should be Banlangen.Bluegrass can be used to produce indigo, and the fruit can also be used for medicine, but it seems that the people here don't know it.

Lianzi chuckled: "I said in the morning that I would sell medicinal materials to Dr. Xu, so I just came out to have a look and dug up some."

Yang was amused by these words, and said with a smile: "Oh, you are only a little older, where can you go to know about medicine or medicine, and it is serious to go back to eat." basket, and took her home with one hand.

Lianzi knew that Yang didn't believe that her children would know about medicinal materials, so she didn't make much excuses. If she said it, it would attract suspicion.She had thought about it a long time ago, so she would play with it first, and then find a way to get around it.

Back home, dinner is still half a bowl of mush for each person.

Lianzi was lying on the kang, feeling her rumbling stomach, and she became more determined to make enough money and have enough food.For the current plan, we must first get some medicinal materials and sell them, so that our family can have a few full meals.Seeing the withered and emaciated figures and sallow complexions of her parents and several older sisters, she couldn't help feeling desolate in her heart.

The medicinal materials dug back today, kudzu root and banlangen are easy to deal with, as long as they are washed and dried, they can be used.Although the processing of Cangzhu is a bit troublesome, it needs to go through several times of bumping and drying, but fortunately, the price is high, and there is nothing to do in winter, so it is very profitable after calculation.

Thinking about it, Lianzi gradually fell asleep.She dreamed that she had a large farmland and orchard in this distant and strange place, the crops in the field were fertile, and the melons and fruits in the garden were fragrant.
